A Canton Party Enjoys Visit Among the
Hills sDd Va l-ys.
Last Fridays DAILY DEMOCRAT con-
tRlned an item In the column II Talk
Of the Town" stating Jhs thH cable line
between Canton and fuIDahocka was
down, and hence the interesting matter
furnished By two af repTesr natives
from that important news cenfeF was
missing. But the Two representatives
were there all the same, and line or
too from tho note books might not DO
cut OF place.
The party, consisting Of four young
ladies and gentlemen. left the city eight
or ten days ago on the Cleveland & Can
ton road with Dastebosrds In their
hands allowing them to ride az FAR as
that pretty little village Of MapletOn,
where cOnveyances awaited them, ready
to take the party to the beautiful
farm residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Geiger, just over the line In Carroll
county. The place is situated on the
road leading from Canton to Malvern,
about eleven miles from the former
and two miles from the latter place
Standing as 1t does on the top of a large
hill, q fine view OF the surrounding
country Is presented to the visitor
Farms with their elegant houses and
barns and Rutumn-leaved woods can be
seen as far as the naked eye can reach.
This ls the district known as "L0Wer
TulpRhOck." Mr.. and Mrs. Geiger have
been residents Of this place for mum
Der OF years, and are known near and
far. Both are we'll up In years, and
have raised large family OF children,
all OF whom are married and occupy
farms near the good old couple. The
old people liVs on the large farm alone,
q On-in- law, Charles Lair by name, as
sisting Mr.. Geiger with the work on the
place.
After pleasant stay of few days at
the palatial Geiger mansion, drive was
taken over the hills to the home Of Mr..
Henry SchOry, few miles from the
town Of RObertsVllle, MIR. SchOry being
3 sOn-in-lsW Of Mr.. Geigsr. Here, like
the former place, everything was found
In firDt claes order around the farm.
Tnis place Is situated In the supper
TulpahOk" district, and Is surrounded
by splendid farms on all sides. MIR. and
Mrs. SchOry also have a nice home and
fine lot of children to make things
more pleasant for all while circled
around the fireside these cool Septem'
0er mornings and evenings. They have
q large farm, and wheat, corn, potatoes,
etc., are the greater part Of the products.
An interesting sight on this place ls an
old log cabin, giving the visitor an idea
Of the small quarters in which the
earlier Inhabitants resided. Small game
Is abundant In this locality, the ground
hog reigning supreme. The DEMOCRAT
boys tried their skill In running down
the latter, but without success.
Leaving MIR. SchOry's, night and day
was again spent at the Geigsr farm, after
which q ride was taken to the busy little
town Of Malvern, Here, everything was
astir, or as Mr.. John Henry, the shoe
man, expressed 1t, the place Is having q
"bOOm." A clay works, where super.
ior quality of FIRE brick used for paving
purposes are made, is in full operation
and things generally are on the hum.
Returning from Malvern a pleasant
evening was spent at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Lair, whose knOwl-
edge OF working on the farm is unlim-
tied. he iS also q s0n.ln-law Of Mr..
Paul Geiger.
The next place visited was the home
OF Mr. JacOO Gslger. near that OF nls
father, where well.spent afternoon
was enjoyed. Here the DEMOCRAT
pencil pusher was shown All Old LhIesh-
log machine made by Ball, Aultman &
Co., many years ago, which Is yet In
running order, but has been ont Of use
for several seasons. This would be
fine thing to place alongside the ma
chine made by AulUmsn s. Co, exhibited
at the county fair this week. 1t would
show the many improvements of the
psstyears. The old-timer is No. 10.
The next place visited was the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. jacob Snyder, a short
distance south of MapletOn, where sew.
eral young ladies and gentlemen did
much to make the stay pleasant one.
From here the party was taken In car
rlsges to the MspletOn station, where
close connections were made for the
morning train home.
The crops have been exceptionally
good, there being good yield Of all ex-
GepC corn, which IL little 9hOrC.
Chestnuts (the genuine Eind), judging
from the appearance of the trees In this
locality. will be plenty. Grapes, apples
and peaches have been fair.
Among others the party had the pleas
ure of meeting Mr.. and Mr.. Eugene
Werle, Mr.. and Mrs Creighton, Mr.. Ed.
8hesrer and Mr. james Black. all OF
whom were excellent people.
The trip as a whole was most en-
joysble one, and II the Lord will bul
spare the good psople of Tulpahocka
and the neighbOrhood for another year,
the members of the little party will bs
delighted to pay them one and al
visit. Z.
